It is Wrestlemania weekend and I am here at my house, waiting for the show to begin. Wrestlemania 42 is in Las Vegas for a second consecutive year.
The weekend always kicks off with the Hall of Fame ceremony. This year, it was on ESPN Unlimited.
The inductees in the class of 2026 were Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, Demolition, Dennis Rodman, Sycho Sid, and Bad News Brown. The bodyslam of Andre the Giant by Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania III was inducted as a Moment.
This was on real late last night so I had to go to bed and watch the remaining part of the event on replay on ESPN this morning.
Stephanie McMahon gave a great speech (although the appearance of Linda McMahon nearly made me want to turn the show off). The Demolition, Axe and Smash ( aka Bill Eadie & Barry Darsow) were inducted finally. They have been deserving for years, but conflict with the company prevented their induction until just now. AJ Styles kept his speech short after a long event.
This Hall of Fame ceremony may not have been the most emotional one for me, but it is always fun to see the inductees who always look incredibly full of gratitude, and the WWE superstars in their best outfits.
Bring on Wrestlemania Saturday
